quiz question

this is from a liverpool footy forum im on, any ideas -

We're having a family discussion and a name's escaping us...

The clues are:
- fought in (we think) 50's or 60's.
- won a British or World title.
- He quit boxing due to the amount of tax he was being charged
- He was on a Children's TV show as a member of the cast.

Any ideas who it is?

 

Johnny Pritchett?

Might be worth posting this in the Classic. :good

Apparently Zippy could deliver a killer left-hook to the body in his prime.:good

 

Floella Benjamin?

Nobody ever seen randy turpins body in the coffin right?

 

Evan Armstrong.

It was a little known fact that he worked on Swap Shop. A friend of a certain Mr Chegwin also.

 

Freddie Mills, he was a regular on 6-5 special

 

It sounds like Terry Downes.
